What do you mean you could write 10 lines of scheme where there would have to write a whole new executable? Did you have some really applicable template or something, or are you just implying that Scheme is vastly more productive than C?
- mattknox 12y agoI talked with some of the opposition later in job interviews, and they would typically write/modify a program in C that would find and kill our client. Their process tended to be: get a machine with our client, write a program that would find some trace of us and kill it, but not get everything, edit C, reinstall, recompile, repeat. My process was: get their client installed, poke around in repl until I was confident I could find it and all its friends, write a function to clobber all of that, then iterate if needed. Where they would have to edit/recompile/run, I would just do a new thing in a repl. Then, too, my code was shorter, mostly from scheme vs. c and partly because I had better libraries than they did.
